Defence Minister Rajnath Singh inaugurated the first-of-its-kind Indian Air Force (IAF) Heritage Centre in Chandigarh.
The Centre has been set up under a memorandum of understanding between the Union Territory of Chandigarh and the IAF which was signed last year.
Spread over 17,000 square feet, this is the first heritage centre of the IAF and depicts its role in various wars, including in 1965, 1971 and the Kargil war, and the Balakot air strike through murals and memorabilia.
A MiG-21 fighter jet, which was inducted into the IAF in 1963, and Kanpur 1, the first aircraft built by India in 1951, have also found space at the heritage centre.
The centre also displayed vintage aircraft and underlined the important role played by the Air Force in humanitarian assistance and disaster relief as well as its combat capabilities.
